Hotel Adagio revamps its bar and restaurant

Hotel Adagio is in the midst of a multi-million dollar revamp, and with that will come two new concepts for the Union Square vicinity hotel. The remodel is expected to be complete next month.

The hotel lost its high-profile restaurant Cortez in 2009; since then, it’s offered food and drink in its now-closed lobby-adjacent bar, dubbed Bar Adagio. The new restaurant will be named the Green Room, but unlike Cortez, it will be aimed mostly toward hotel guests and serve only breakfast.

Of greater interest to the area is the new bar concept, named The Mortimer. They’re billing it as a sophisticated cocktail lounge; a representative for the hotel adds that it will be focused on “the art of mixology and highly personalized customer service.” They expect to announce the new players in the coming weeks.
